Road to Hana Tour Vans

Look for these differences as you compare road to Hana tours:

Transport. The more expensive tour vans tend to have less passengers (twelve or so), with bigger, less expensive vans holding 20 or more passengers.

Route. Some tours turn back at Hana or Oheo Gulch, while others go completely 'around the horn' past the area that some vacationers don't travel in rental cars.

Meals. They generally provide a light breakfast and lunch during your day long tour. These vary from prepacked cold meals to catered gourmet meals on the beach.

Schedule. Hana tours generally provide pickup and dropoff right at your hotel, but these times vary between different types of tours.

Why Take a Road to Hana Tour?

A road to Hana tour offers several advantages that may match how you would like to see the Hana coast.

• Because the tour driver negotiates the sharp curves along steep oceanside cliffs, you can focus on the waterfalls and ocean views.

• You are sitting higher and get a better view of the waterfalls and coast in a van than a lower rental car.

• Some persons that get carsick and nauseous in a small car on the twisting road to Hana report no carsickness when riding up hoigh as a passenger in a tour van.

• With parking at a premium along the narrow road to Hana as the day progresses, Hana tour vans are able to drop off passengers close to scenic sites.

Meanwhile, those of us who drive the Road to Hana in our rental car struggle to create a parking spot somewhere along the road before hiking to the scenic outlook.

• Hana tours save you the time to plan and locate the best spots along the Hana highway. Wandering the black lava rock beach at Keanae Peninsula on the Hana highway

The vans go to some off the beaten path locations such as Keanae Peninsula where many cars miss the entry road.

• Tour guides know where the scarce restrooms are located in this wilderness area. Bathroom stops may seem unimportant while you are sitting in your comfortable home reading this page, but a day on the Hana coast may change your mind!

I have several free Road to Hana Maui maps on these web pages that you can print and take with you to Maui.

If you want a traditional folded Maui map, I recommend purchasing the folded version of the Frankos Maui map ($6) to give you a good orientation of the Road to Hana.

What makes Frankos maps unique? Descriptions and tips are written right on the map.

So you don't have to read about a destination in a Maui book, then locate that destination on a map.

It's like you scribbled your own personal vacation notes all over your own personal map.

Franko also has a laminated Maui map (great to use as a placemat at home or during your Maui vacation), folded and laminated Maui dive and snorkel maps, and a 6"x9" laminated Maui fish ID card.

If you purchase the map in advance of your Maui vacation, you can spread the map out for some trip planning on the long flight to Maui.

So for a few bucks, you can get some Maui specific maps that focus on what you want to see as a vacationer, rather than a focus on advertisements.



You can just print this page and other pages on this site to build yourself a pretty good free Road to Hana Guide to take with you to Maui.

If you would prefer to have a more conventional printed book, or just want a lot more detail than is provided on these pages, try the Road to Hana category at my Maui Vacation Guides page. They include:

General Maui travel guide books such as Maui Revealed, by far the largest selling Maui guide book, that include Road to Hana maps and chapters.

Maui Revealed



Specialty books such as Hana Highway: Mile by Mile with Hana maps

Hana Highway: Mile by Mile



Traditional Maui folded maps such as Frankos Maui Guide Map that highlight the Road to Hana
